Ideas

Use case: 1. An element has an attribute that looks up information on equipment configuration (ex: a pump rate) 2.  Due to an equipment change, the lookup table and the element were increased in version 3. A backfill needed to be performed o...

Currently there is no way to know if Analytics missed important updates (e.g. start of a batch) without analyzing the message logs. However, the AFSDK does provide an indication on the DataPipe if the pipe is in an overflow state, allowing for a c...

I would like to be able to insert a new variable above or below a highlighted variable, instead of having the new variable always go to the bottom of the list. This is very problematic when needing to add a new variable to the top of the list when...

I would like to be able to do a Rollup Analysis of Booleans attributes, without casting or converting the boolean. As Rollup Functions I would suggest: Logical AND, Logical OR and maybe Count of True/False. It can be use to create a Combined Stat...

There are no number base conversion functions available in AF Analysis. There are many situations where I need to convert numbers between different 'number bases'. I frequently work with MODBUS devices and there are many times number base conversi...

I have an analysis that is event-triggered by multiple attributes. This analysis has the purpose of merging input attribute events with output tag, therefore I need to know which attribute triggered analysis to save only the newest event to outpu...

Expression analyses allow you to find the largest value of an attribute over a specified time range using the TagMax function. A function which offers the ability the find the Kth largest value (i.e. 2nd, 3rd, etc.) would be useful. Something simi...
